It's been doing this for a few days so just now I gave it a restart. I normally shut down every night! Just checked and it's working fine, what a weird computer this is turning out to be! Thanks guys.

I managed to get there by using the windows key and the i key. Computer up to date... nothing pending! Really strange!

Just tried and nope. It opens then closes immediately. If I try typing settings into the search bar it immediately deletes it and closes it!

OK thank you. I will just give it time to correct itself then.

Evening all, I have a really strange issue! Windows done a few little updates the other day and now if I click on the windows start button at the bottom left hand side of the screen it opens then closes after a second or two. I cannot get it to stay open. I tried using the windows button on...

At the minute no issues and PCS already said to me they will not swap the RAM as they do not think it is that! They said if I would have to send the machine back to them for them to check it, which I do not want to do! Thank you.

@ubuysa Can these BSODs sometimes clear themselves? Touch wood I have had a few little windows updates recently and I have not had the Blue Screen for nearly two weeks! Infact I have not had it since I run MEMtest. Strange ayyy!!! Thanks

Thanks Ubuysa, I really appreciate your help. But in doing all these test I will not be able to use my PC like I would normally. I can re-install windows but not download any software etc would mean I could be waiting days without this happening. It's a complete pain in the a**. Hopefully...

Morning, MEMtest complete. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q7ORcALceR3UixmD7rwyXb4JdJMiLLeK/view?usp=sharing Thanks

Right Ubuysa, the memory stick I have not gone to collect yet from my parents house so I spoke to my IT guys at work and they said just run the windows test for now to see if that comes back with any errors. I done it and no errors found. I guess you will just say wait to see what MEMtest comes...

Ubuysa, I did not run MEMtest I took the RAM sticks out and re-seated them. I didn't get the error for the next few days but have had it since. Now PCS telling me I have to run MEMtest and see what happens.

PCS have come back to me on email saying I need to run MEMtest. I will try to have a go on the weekend. I need to get my memory stick from my parents house as I wont be doing it on my external drive again. :p

Ubuysa, instructions were on point thanks mate. Sorted the external drive! I have just got to add the items back now. I will contact PCS and see what they say. Hopefully they will send me out some more to test and I will send mine back!

I should be ok, it will be the only 2TB drive there. I will do it on my laptop. Thanks

Thanks Ubuysa for all your help and even advice trying to get the old stuff back. Luckily it's a new hard drive and I only had 2 large files of photos which I can just add back. It's just time in the file transfer. Once I do the disk part will it be ok and ready to use or will I need to...

Na, I am more than capable but I just don't trust all these little websites with loads of ads everywhere. I will see what happens and maybe I will just do an online chat tomorrow with PCS.

Ok. I am not too bad with general computer maintenance to be fair. but I ain't no super nerd that knows everything about all this stuff. :p:p:p Perhaps I will need you guys a lot. Haha

Yes you are correct. But after that there is another load of ads. Which one do I select?

Why is that though? You are basically saying they are completely unstable. Why are the parts in this machine need more looking after than main PC brand like Dell etc?

I get that but custom or not it's got the same parts that a pre built computer from Dell would have right? Just seems mad I am trying to sort an issue instead of just getting PCS to fix it!
